Latest Sigma Tel High Def Audio CODEC Update...

The Latest Sigma Tel High Def Audio CODEC Update does not work; it breaks the
audio, removing the recording devices and placing a red 'X' over the system
tray speaker icon. What gives, MS??

Hi there,

As most user know MS gives bad drivers;)

Rol back on the driver in your device namager or try using system restore in
safe mode to a date before the problem occured.

Take drivers if they are really needed from the manufacturers website.

Som free advice: If it ain't broke: do not try to "FIX" it.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

I had the same problem after i installed my update, You should go on your
computer manufacturer website download the driver from your manufacturer &
they should have your driver. it worked out fine for me i had my sound back,
or rollback your driver which i tried that & it didn't work so i had to go on
Gateway Support & download the driver of my computer model & they had it.
Just a couple of click from download and it automatically installed my old
driver.

If you would had read this message:
IMPORTANT! Don't take any driver updates from windows update

Than you wouldn't have a worry;)
